ECLIPSE




At some point in my childhood I witnessed my first eclipse. I really can’t remember which year.  It was at some point in the 1980's.  I remember standing in my parent’s garden watching a partial eclipse through a telescope projection onto some cardboard my Dad had brought back from work. 

I remember excitedly drawing the outline with a pencil completely awestruck by what was happening.   

That drawing no longer exists.  Thrown out at some point in the years to come.  I wish I still had it.  It’s seems very important to me now.
